I was skeptical when the first information came out, but it turns out almost nothing I heard was about Roberts as a judge.
He clerked for Rehnquist. He left a high-powered law firm to work for Ken Starr.
I don't trust him.
This is a time of celebration, so sit still and be quiet.

What is even happening?
How likely is it that Hillary Clinton will run for President next election?
I kind of wish she wouldn't. I actually really like her, and I'm not far off from most of her stances on most things. And I loved Bill so much I still think of him as my President, and would enjoy him being the first ever First Gentleman. That said, I wish the Dems would find some new blood.

Fred, was he working for Starr during the Clinton-hunt, or prior to?

I would feel a little uneasy about the prospect of the 43rd President being the son of the 41st and then the 44th President being the wife of the 42nd.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Plus, the wife of the 41st President considers the 42nd president to be like a son....

I kinda wonder if there might a strategy of replace O'Conner with someone more in the mold of Rehnquist and then replace Rehnquist with someone more in the mold of Scalia. That would move the court a lot to the right but wouldn't be as dramatic as replacing O'Conner with a hard line right winger.

Prior to, Cindy. When Starr was the Solicitor General, '89-'93.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Hillary is losing points with me with this Grand Theft Auto BS. Did she learn nothing from Tipper?

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
Are Hillary and Bill still married? Why did I think they were separated or divorced?
